Project Tech

Description

More than 60% of college students are categorized as poor-quality sleepers, which negatively impacts physical and psychological health, and academic performance. Technology is increasingly becoming a necessity for college students in almost all aspects of life such as work, school, and social life. Recent correlational research has suggested that technology use has a negative impact on sleep quality and duration. However, sleep hygiene, an educational intervention that provides information about activities to do/not do during the day to prevent negative impacts on sleep, often does not include technology use before bedtime. Project Tech was a 4-week intervention designed to eliminate technology use in bed and before bedtime to improve the sleep quality and duration of Oakland University students, through the use of stimulus control, which provided strategies to reduce spending time in bed not sleeping, including technology use while in bed, and sleep hygiene.
